Saint John

Away From Her Sad story, good film. Gordon Pinsent has the look of someone with a heart broken in one thousand places. Julie Christie, suffers in her own way as the patient going into an old folks home, as she begins to lose her memory. Well worth seeing since the topic is one that will affect many people as relatives of someone with increasing memory loss - alzheimer's. Some great humour in a patient who is former play-by-play man for the Winnipeg Jets who calls NHL hockey games at the old folks home as well as commentary about the people he sees in the hallways.
